Despair to Empowerment

In the second episode of this three part series,  we delve into the heart of climate anxiety and how it's being recognized (or not) in healthcare systems. (At the time of this recording, my guest, Eric Windhurst, was a registered psychotherapist.  In the spring of 2025, he resigned and is no longer a member in good standing with that profession.)

Our guest, Eric Windhorst has a unique approach to therapy and focuses on the connection between our inner nature (our authentic self) and outer nature (the interconnectedness of the natural world). He likens himself to a "greenhouse," fostering growth and healing in his clients.  We cover:

The Power of Being Centered

Witnessing and Supporting Suffering

Climate Anxiety - A Healthy Response

Embracing Pain and Grief
